01Source hierarchy
Primary Microsoft Support, Microsoft Learn, and Sysinternals documentation comes first. Historical archive material is used only to understand old URLs and topic scope, never to support current Windows instructions.
02Normalization
The Atlas turns separate documentation into consistent phase, scope, inspection, reversibility, caution, source, and checked-date fields. If a source does not establish a field, it is not guessed.
03Review and change log
Sources are reviewed quarterly and after material Windows, Task Manager, or Autoruns changes. A record change retains prior value, new value, source, reason, and checked date.
04Controlled tests
A later controlled Windows test may verify a field mapping. It records build, tool version, commands, date, and data removal steps.
